It is unknown how these documents came to the Royal Asiatic Society. It is presumed that they came with paintings that were in the Jones' possession and that these were donated sometime after Lady Jones' death.

The Royal Asiatic Society holds within its collections a number of paintings and drawings that belonged to William Jones.
